We need a donor nvram. All you need is files: nvram.bin, nvdata. img, persist. img, nvcfg. img, protect1. img, protect2. img, as well as pc. Goal: We will not take your imei. The most important thing for us is to understand what imei format miui accepts. Thanks.
Background:
NVRAM flew off by my mistake. Here I am with a friend trying to restore the imei. We're close to a solution. But we need donors to finally solve the problem. The loader is blocked
Please tell me I'm off topic. New guy.

Firstly, NOBODY should give anybody NO ONE of these files: nvram.bin, nvdata.img, persist.img, nvcfg.img, protect1.img, protect2.img.
If you have educational purpoises, here is not the place for collecting that.
Well, IMEI is present in NVRAM and NVDATA only.
NVRAM is the permant storage.
NVRAM is never formatted.
NVDATA is the variable storage.
NVDATA is formatted when data is formatted.
Nvdata is mounted at boot:
/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/nvdata /mnt/vendor/nvdata ext4 rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,discard,noauto_da_alloc,data=ordered 0 0
This is the file containing the IMEI: /mnt/vendor/nvdata/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/LD0B_001
We have been trying to restore the imei for 6 days. We restored the imei only in engineering. Made a backup of nvram. Then we sewed miui. And there we restored the imei, but it gives this error:
So we thought that miui accepts these imeis in a different format.
IMEI for Slot1 will not be accepted on release versions.
Go back to engineering and erase the IMEI for slot1.
It needs to be empty.
Keeps only IMEI for slot2.
And then, it will works perfectly.
Only Xiaomi Centre can recover IMEI for slot1 if you lost it.
The fact is that we used the program sn write tool to restore imei 1 and 2, bt and wf. Then, to remove the first imei, I had to use the Modern Meta program. And with the help of NVRAM editor, we removed imei 1. We launch the phone, we see that there is a second imei. But the SIM cards don't work.
If your SIM card requires the imei it works in slot2 only.
Yes, we know that the SIM card requires an imei. We made imei 2. Then after that we flashed miui (not format all and download) and after flashing miui, imei 2 flew off

But I think it is NOT specific to xiaomi/miui.
NVRAM and NVDATA structures present in MIUI, are same to other brands, models and newer android versions.
If I don't have an imei of 1. Can I link my account to mi unlock if I only have imei 2?

If you wipe data, flash using format all or flash using firmware upgrade, you will lose your imei again.
Read carefully:
1. Erase IMEI for slot1.
2. Write IMEI for slot2.
3. Backup NVDATA.
4. Flash anything you want or wipe your data if you want.
5. Restore NVDATA.
Done.
Keep the backup of NVDATA secure and if you need, just restore it back.

If you want to restore the state of unlocked bootloader, everything you need to do is unlock bootloader first and then backup the SECCFG partition.
If you lock bootloader again, just restore the backup of SECCFG and bootloader will be unlocked again.

Hi,
i want to unlock my bootloader, so i made a backup with Devshafts TA Backup v9.10. The backup is a 112kb big zip file and 2mb big, when i uncompress it, i made a dry run to test it, everything seems ok.
To unlock my bootloader i must send my IMEI nr. to Sony.
My Question is, do they notice that i unlocked my XSP, even after relocking it with the TA Backup, by my IMEI nr that they have?
That would mean my warranty is voided even if i relock it?
Or am i wrong at some point?
Thank you for your help!
Well you lost your warranty if you Unlock your bootloader but I've never heard or read somewere that Sony (or the repair places) are using some kind of Database to check which IMEI has been used to get an Unlock Code.
If you relock the bootloader and restore the TA partition there is no evidence of any unlock.

No Backup of the TA partition?
Well thats not smart. Why is no one reading the tutorials?
First lines of the tutorial from Doomlord:
this is the official way to unlock bootloader
if you want to keep ur DRM keys, first root device and then check this out
Warning!
This procedure will wipe the /data partition of your phone, so you will loose all ur stored data, settings. INTERNAL SDCARD will BE WIPED!!!
For Xperia™ devices released 2013 or later (for example Xperia™ Z and Xperia™ ZL), the SD card of your device will be formatted and you will lose all content (for example photos, music, videos) when you unlock the boot loader.
DRM keys WILL be lost forever

older Xperia devices sometimes got issues after unlock of bootloader (BRICK after FOTA update) - you have been warned

Hi guys, for developing unlock of Sprint v40, we need EFS backup from unlocked model V405QA (to compare some things between models).
You can do it by QFIL and QPST tools (to eliminate possible bugs)
Turn on Diag mode: In dialer *#546368#*405#, type 000000 in service code, then press SVC menu -> Port Check Test -> Enable.
Manual for QPST: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-qpst-tool-backup-imei-nvram-t3455297
Manual for QFIL: Start QFIL. Open Tools -> QCN Backup Restore. Click Browse and save it in cozy place. Press Backup QCN.
After finish you should see: «Done downloading the qcn file: C:\temp\00000000.qcn» and «Finish Backup QCN».
Manual for NV-items_reader_writer: Set port, click checkbox right after 000000, click Connect, Click Read button right after Connect button, click Read in main window.
Dont forget to turn off Diag mode after.
Many thanks! Your help for community will be greatly appreciated.
Hi.. i was wondering if we backup EFS from Sprint unlocked and restore it to Sprint locked will unlock the network for worldwide sim card?
Would it do any harm or changes to Sprint locked v40's IMEI?
I currently owned a Sprint unlocked LG v40.. bought it from Ebay, put in my Indonesian simcard and works perfect.. 3G/HSPA+/LTE great

Probably yes, with crossflashing unlocked firmware it can be big win for locked sprints.
IMEI will not change, we are searching only for items that locking network to sprint.
Im away till 11 march, but if I can contact you and help with backup, it will be great.

Also i believe when cross flashing a v30 it doesn't touch the efs system either it just bypasses the lock its still there but because of the new firmware it tricks it into working thats what i was under impressions.

3 type this commands
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot
thats all
you can also backup modemst1 and modemst2 files before this steps
you won't loose imei or have some problem phone works without any problem just tested
Congrats bro
Alright bro, I thought this was an early April fool's joke at first but it's apparently not. Congrats n sorry for the early doubts... I had just read your posts about trying a sim unlock thru some company and it being successful but the tmo app wasn't working so I figured that's where your sim got unlocked it had just carried over to the international version but apparently not. It's crazy that this is how easy it is to bootloader unlock & unlock your sim. Definitely backup your modemst with readback mode in msm
I can help you do what you need as I've done it before. pm me.

1 phone is not stolen its financed ordered from ebay as unlocked I was scammed was not able to return from oversies
2 you can backup your modems and then try deleting with this commands they are not deleting I tryed 2 times
3 after blowfish confirmed that phone was unlocked opened unlock app > permanent unlock was receiving same error delleted app data same error factory reset - same error reflashed firmware same error after that this commands worked
all unlock services included blowfish unlock cellunlocker few one from ebay . tyed many of them they refunded money (blowfish returned credits to account) main reason wan device was not active 40 days this services can unlock bad imei phones but if device was not active 40 days they can't more than month I was trying to unlock but only this commands worked if you think you will loose modems to backup try this method
Download & Open up Terminal Emulator on your phone
Once it's open you'll be greeted with a command line prompt, in which you can enter text commands, the first thing you need to do is enable root access by entering this line (press the enter key on your on-screen keyboard after each command to issue it):
Code:
su
If this is the first time you've used Terminal Emulator a Superuser or SuperSU popup will appear, make sure you grant root access.
Now enter these two commands:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sdf2 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=2048
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sdf3 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=2048

Bro ur funny we use magisk n we don't dd modems thru terminal to back anything up.... Tell me technically what sense would it make to delete your modem how would that unlock your sim? See if u really did unlock ur sim n bootloader for free by flashing to international and then deleting ur modems (lol) then you would have put twrp on and actually rooted upgraded to beta 7 or flashed an aosp (at least that's what I'd assume cause that's what we unlock the bootloader for) so post some screenshots of whatever ROM ur on or a video of the process with u proving ur not lying. Cause as far as I know absolutely no information regarding the devices unlocked sim state reside in the modem. Imei in Efs maybe or on the board in the phone but not on a piece of a stock rom that some of the best developers on here just overlooked but u magically figured it out.... Quit it dude go home

Some people I know discovered this work around in November if u make a modemst back up of both modems first, use msm readback to backup imei, then wipe modem, then sim unlocked, restore modem files and imei with msm readback mode. It's just very risky. So if u know how to use msm readback mode and smt mode then go for this, @nika_bego you are correct. For the haters, grow up man, u are incorrect, this man is correct. There are multiple ways to do things in android. I was part of the initial team that first achieved root with this phone with a locked bootloader via aging kernel. Which then led to wiping the modems..we had to keep it between ourselves or chaos would erupt on xda. Plus the mods get so upset if u talk about hacks, modded apps, imei anything and restoring stuff.

I don't believe this guy either. However it is actually true that converting the TMO variant to the International using this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307 will allow a simple
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
instead of having to go through OnePlus/TMO to get unlock.bin file.
Doing the conversion, then unlocking the bootloader, then rooting as normal. However I do not for one second believe that erasing the modem will unlock the SIM.
Edit: Looks like it might be possible to SIM unlock with this HOWEVER it requires MORE STEPS not only what is listed in the OP.

Well I have been modding phones for a while, and I've been able to avoid anything this catastrophic so far, but yesterday while using Qfil, I clicked on erase entire flash.
So far I have recovered everything except my IMEI so my phone is not connected to my network. My question is can anyone help recover or restore my IMEI to my ATT Locked LG V40 with unlocked BL and Unlocked Rom?

probably my guess is a no, you can get those back by flashing a kdz or using qfil unbrick method see if they restore imei

Not long enough obviously, one of the first things suggested before flashing anything is to backup the IMEI partition, EFS for Samsung, to avoid having an expensive paper weight like the one in front of you..
Might need to find someone with a box now.

Really I've never heard that before...I only backup what's tickable in TWRP .-. I think IMEI might be one of those options...

it's normal. is better read carefully the guides before make these kind of operations. i have unlocked my bootlader normally. i have wait 7 days, without any problem. i have linked you the guide, but i tinked you will make it with attention... i'm sorry. now your phone work also without original imei, but i can say goodbye to warranty. these are the risks of modding
